What is the life you long to live? What do you want to create in the world? My job is to help you get there. I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches in my work, including mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, sensory awareness, compassion-based counseling, and cognitive behavioral therapy in order to meet your particular needs and learning style. I come to counseling work in mid-life, after 30 years as a student of Buddhism, 20 years as a leader and educator in organizations, a parent in a blended family, and having overcome significant obstacles through my own work in therapy. In individual sessions, we will certainly talk - but as it suits you, we can also play, make art, take a walk, sit in a garden, role-play situations, do short writing exercises, or practice guided meditations. In my experience, change happens more effectively when we combine cognitive with non-cognitive modes of counseling. I have particular interest in helping people grow through life's transitions -- emerging adulthood, midlife, addiction recovery, chronic illness, career change, aging, parenthood, divorce, blending families, seeking spiritual meaning. While my work helps solve immediate problems, it is also aimed at expanding our capacities for joy, love, and self-care.
